It wasn’t until Naked2, Naked3 and the other color-centric Naked versions came out, however, that the Naked franchise redefined the eyeshadow family as a whole. It also raised the eyebrows of color-lovers everywhere — Urban Decay’s definition of neutral was expanding. There are definitely a couple of shades that stand out more - in my own palette, I find that I use Half Baked (glittery gold), Snakebite (shimmery brown), Pistol (shimmery grey), Verve (shimmery silver), YDK (glittery silver with a hint of pink), and Busted (shimmery dark purple-brown) a lot more than the other shades. Combining a complementary selection of velvety, pressed powder eyeshadows from pale nude to cool taupe and rich brown, the must-have palette allows you to create a range of looks that add subtle depth or bold definition to the eyes. Formulated with the brand's Pigment Infusion System™, each suede-like hue delivers rich colour payoff with maximum smoothness, blendability and staying power.

Suspect is a soft champagne-bronze with a frosted, metallic sheen. It has good color payoff but felt a touch powdery. theBalm Schitzo is more golden and smoother. Sidecar (from Naked 1) is just pinker.

Considering that each pan is almost exactly the size of a full, single eyeshadow but costs approx.as much as 2.5-3 X single shadows would, you can't argue with the price. The brush that comes with the palette is not bad, but I would say that the flatter brush is not always precise enough for more clearly defined looks. I use the brush mostly for creating smoky looks, or when I contour areas of my face that need a brush that is smaller than a regular contour brush. We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when

Foxy is a pale yellowed beige with a matte finish. It’s on the sheer side and a bit powdery. On my forearm (around NC20), it’s almost invisible. It could work for highlighting the brow on light to medium complexions. It’s similar to Bare Escentuals Daydream, Wet ‘n’ Wild Comfort Zone, and MAC Brule.The quality sure is there; I could immediately see what people are so crazy for UD shadows! You need the lightest hand for the shadows as they're so pigmented. They feel creamy to apply and only the most glittery shadows have much fallout. After the success of Naked Original, Naked2 and Naked3, Zomnir pushed the boundaries of what we define as ‘naked’ with Naked Smoky, Naked Heat and eventually Naked Cherry. Inspired by the ever-changing makeup world around her, it was important that the Naked eyeshadow palettes kept up. “I believe that nude shades evolve,” she notes. “The ‘naked’ shades of yesterday will be different from what we will want to wear tomorrow.” To think that content creators everywhere are inspiring makeup brands is a stunning victory for aspiring gurus on all platforms of social media — Urban Decay Naked Cherry is proof that brands are listening, watching and paying attention. But all the Naked palette drama had us thinking about where it all started. So to uncover more about the origin of the Naked Palettes and their evolution, we sat down with Urban Decay mastermind, founder and Chief Creative Officer Wende Zomnir for a little Naked Palette History 101. Here’s what we learned. I did not have a lot of issues with fallout - the shades in this palette are not so pigmented that fallout is a major issue. However, on darker colours like Busted (this shades tends to crumble more than the others, probably because it is probably the most pigmented shade in the palette), you may want to apply some powder on your undereye area for safety before applying it.
